considering three options They are to fill part of the neless fami hostel with home' add a generous system of subsidies to the present rent allowance and to let off part of the building to universities for student accommodation or hospitals for staff accommodation Behind these desperate remedies is the fact that the whole building was originally meant to be a YMCA hotel Turning three quarters of it into a hostel was a rough and ready solution to a mounting cash Crisis Only as a hostel could it attract the £7000000 of public cash without which the scheme would have ool- fire

cost £7000000 Of that £5000000 was met by a grant from the if the Department of the Environment and the other £2000000 was a loan by Camden council The rest of the complex con-i soorts and a restaurant which are all run by the YMCA The hotel got a £168000 grant from the English Tourist Board and charges £7 a night for a single room and £10 a night for a double Camden council in return for its £2000000 loan was Sven the right to fill all the wtel rooms with single people on its homeless list But so far only ten have accepted the accommodation in spite of a generous system of Government and local authority funded rent allowances Today Camden acknowledged the major shortcomings but added that the scheme would have collapsed entirely if it had not made the loan Among the shortcomings are the high rent and the fact that there are communal cooking facilities for only a third of the hostel Residents in the other rooms will have to eat aU their meals in the self-service restaurant i
